Last night after we read Lily's Bible story (she has asked for Jonah's story 4 days in a row now), I told her it was time for prayers and asked if she wanted to say it or wanted me to say it. She replied "You say it then I say the words." For a couple of weeks now she wants me to say a prayer and she repeats the words after me, so I said okay and we closed our eyes. This is what was said:
Me: Dear Jesus.
Lily: Dear Jesus. Thank you for Mommy, Daddy, Lily and Amelia. Thank you for all our blessings. Help us sleep good for tomorrow. Amen."
How precious is that? Of course, I realize she is reciting what we say most nights (though I usually also say something we are especially thankful for that particular day), but I thought it was so sweet that she said it all by herself. She was beaming when she finished too because she was so proud of herself. I told her how sweet that was, and how much Jesus loves it when she talks to Him. What a sweetheart.
